High
Park Views |
Long before gold was discovered
in Cripple Creek, cattle grazed these mountain parklands. Texas longhorns
were brought here from more than 800 miles away on drives that lasted many
months. A few historic cattle ranches remain in operation today. The mountain
grasslands sustain a variety of wildlife species as well as cattle. As
you drive through High Park, enjoy spectacular views of the Sangre de Cristo
Range, the high peaks to the southwest.
